Yu Jiu picked out all the valuable items, but she was very sensible and would never take advantage of others in the slightest.
"Okay, then I'll take it back to him tomorrow."
An'an has seen a lot in life and won't be fooled by such a small thing. She won't feel bad about sending it back.
“Send them all back. We don’t need these things!”
Xu Zijiang was clearly still angry.
"Alright, alright, why won't you calm down? Are you trying to make me lose my temper?"
Yu Jiu glared at Xu Zijiang, telling him to shut up.
Gouzi wanted to laugh at Xu Zijiang but didn't dare, afraid that he would really lose his temper. Luckily, they only had two sons and no daughters, otherwise he would have been heartbroken like the captain.
Yuanyuan quietly pulled An'an aside.
"Sis, are you going to see Xie Chuan tomorrow?"
"Hmm, what for? We're going to have some fun, you don't actually want to come along, do you?"
An'an immediately guessed Yuanyuan's thoughts, knowing he had done this kind of thing countless times in the past two years. Whenever he didn't have classes on weekends, he would always follow her around, afraid that she would go on a date with Xie Chuan alone.
She didn't know if it was Yuanyuan's own idea or her father's suggestion. Fortunately, they had a lot of schoolwork and had to attend extra classes on Saturdays, so they could only rest on Sundays. They didn't go anywhere to play. Most of the time, they went to the library to do their homework together, so it didn't matter if he was brought along as a third wheel.
But now that they've been admitted to university, they can finally relax for a while during the holidays and go on dates. An'an doesn't want to bring him along this time.
"Take me with you, sis. I'll carry your bag, I promise I won't bother you!"
Yuanyuan swears that he is a few years younger than An'an, but he is already taller than An'an. An'an is only 168 cm tall, while Yuanyuan is already 178 cm tall. He is clearly a teenager, but he is still like a clingy elementary school student.
"No, go play by yourself, and don't tell Dad."
An An tiptoed, patted the round dog's head, and then ruthlessly rejected him.
"Girls are so naturally attracted to outsiders! She's only so young, and she's already swayed by other men!"
Yuanyuan and Xu Zijiang were both indignant, but the next day, An'an still happily went on her date with Xie Chuan, carrying her things, and Yu Jiu personally delivered them to her.
"As agreed before, no overstepping the boundaries is allowed, okay?"
Before she got out of the car, Yu Jiu reminded her again.
"I understand, Mom, don't worry! I'll be a good girl! Mua~~ I love you!"
An'an wrapped her arms around Yu Jiu's neck, gave Yu Jiu a big kiss on the cheek, and then happily rushed towards her boyfriend who had officially started his new job.
Xie Chuan had been waiting for over ten minutes, but he wasn't impatient at all and waited patiently. And then, his reward arrived: his girlfriend rushed towards him, and he immediately embraced her, a sweet scent filling the air between them.
Young people, when they fall in love, don't need to say anything. Just a glance is enough to make them happy for half a day. Yu Jiu glanced at it, shook his head, and drove away.
She recalled how she and Xu Zijiang were like that back then, able to be happy for half a day just by looking at each other. However, Xu Zijiang was not as honest as Xie Chuan back then, and he still had the nerve to curse others. He didn't even realize how much of a rogue he was back then.
Of course, everyone applies double standards.
The future development of An'an and Xie Chuan is quite clear, but Yu Jiu and Xu Zi will not be able to have dinner with Xie Chuan's parents. Originally, Yu Jiu planned to arrange it in a week or two, by which time Yuan Yuan would be on summer vacation, so there would be no need to specifically choose a Sunday.
However, it seemed that Xie Chuan's parents' business abroad had run into some trouble, so they left in a hurry without even having a meal.
"Look at this, is this what they call valuing us, valuing our An'an? Although I don't really care about eating with them, they still stood me up after we made plans! I don't think they're any good people!"
Xu Zijiang nitpicked, "Finally, I've found an opportunity!"
"We've run into business, so why can't we eat at any other time? If we were to discuss business, we'd have to postpone this meal. There's nothing to discuss here."
“That’s not what I’m concerned about, but Xie Chuan’s parents’ businesses are all overseas. Will Xie Chuan also go abroad later? Will he be able to come back? I need to find out about this. Although I agree to him dating An An, I can’t agree to him taking An An abroad.”
Yu Jiu had some other worries.
An'an lives in the capital like them, so they can see each other often. If she went abroad, who knows how long it would take to see her again. Even if there were airplanes, meeting up would still be a hassle, and they don't have much time and don't like to travel around unnecessarily.
"What! He actually dared to take An'an abroad to live! I'll skin him alive!"
Xu Zijiang was extremely agitated. He had already disagreed, and now it was even less likely that he would agree!
So when Xie Chuan went to his parents' house with his belongings to apologize, he once again received a cold look from Xu Zijiang.
"Uncle, what's wrong? My parents suddenly had something come up and couldn't stay in the capital to have dinner with you. It was their fault. When they come back, I'll have them apologize to you and Auntie properly."
While apologizing, Xie Chuan took out a tea set and poured tea for Xu Zijiang. His expression was respectful, and his previous cold and arrogant demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
He was going all out to get a wife, and he figured he should avoid offending his father-in-law if possible.
Normally, Yu Jiu would speak up for him and smooth things over, but not this time. Just as An An was about to try to liven things up, Yu Jiu slowly opened her mouth.
"Xiao Chuan, your aunt and uncle don't mean to blame your parents, and there's no need to apologize. We're all in business, and we know that sometimes we have no other choice. When An'an and Yuan Yuan were little, we couldn't be with them for several years because we were always traveling around."
"It's unavoidable to do this in order to make money. However, I'd like to know more about your family. Your parents have lived abroad for many years. Do you have any intention of moving abroad?"
“My parents thought I wouldn’t get into university and were planning to send me abroad. If I did go to university abroad, they might consider moving there. But I’m already in university in China, and An’an is here too, so I’m not going abroad, Auntie, don’t worry.”
Xie Chuan was a smart man and immediately knew what Yu Jiu was worried about, so he quickly explained.
However, Yu Jiu still couldn't believe it immediately, so she continued to ask questions.
"What do your parents think? And if you don't go abroad, not to mention the problem of family reunion, who will take over the overseas business in the future?"
Yu Jiu's consideration was very necessary. It was impossible for them to just leave the money there for nothing. They themselves would not be willing to do so.
"I haven't discussed this with my parents yet; this is just my own thought. If you're worried, I'll have a serious talk with them about this when they come back."
But please rest assured, I never really liked studying abroad, which is why I studied in China. I plan to settle down in the capital and definitely won't go anywhere else. As for my parents, if they prefer to live abroad, then we'll keep things as they are. Either they fly back to see me, or I fly to see them. I'm sure they won't have any objections.
